AUGUST BURNS RED Frontman Interviewed At Finland's PROVINSSIROCK

Finland's HardcoreSounds.Net conducted an interview with vocalist Jake Luhrs of the Lancaster, Pennsylvania-based Christian metalcore quintet AUGUST BURNS RED at this year's edition of the Provinssirock festival, which was held June 12-14 in Seinäjoki, Finland. Watch the chat below. Also available is footage of the band's performance ta the event.

AUGUST BURNS RED will undertake a U.S. headlining U.S. tour from July 10 to August 8. Joining the band on the 24-city trek are BLESSTHEFALL, ENTER SHIKARI (July 10-27), ALL SHALL PERISH (July 28-August 8) and IWRESTELEDABEARONCE. The romp across the country will also feature a first for AUGUST BURNS RED — multiple-night stands in the markets of Pomona, California and Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

AUGUST BURNS RED will release its third full-length album, "Constellations", on July 14 via Solid State Records.

The visual themes for "Constellations" echo the band's career-long fascination with spirituality and destiny.

"'Constellations' is about directing our attention towards heaven, trusting that God will direct our steps, regardless of our circumstance," says drummer Matt Greiner. "The kites in the artwork represent our own intelligence and innovation. So often we trust our own abilities to guide us through life, but the 'wind' of life will send our kites soaring every which way."
